Washington (UP) – (March 20)
The Army needs about 4,056 more chaplains this year, Brig. Gen. William R. Arnold, Chief of Army Chaplains, said today.
He said this number is required to fill the gap between those now in the Army and those required as the Army expands. Still needed are about 3,028 Protestant chaplains, 959 Roman Catholics, and 69 Jewish. Two hundred thirty-five should be Negro chaplains, of whom 200 could be assigned to duty today.
Gen. Arnold declared:
The Army, in its policy concerning religion, exemplifies the spirit of freedom of conscience which is one of the ideals for which our troops are fighting. No soldier is compelled to worship god, but every man, no matter where he is, is given all possible assistance at practicing his religion.
